One of the great and horrible realities of Christmas in the 21st century is that there's really no excuse for not being able to find the perfect gift. Because if it's not online, it probably means you're a genius and just came up with the next great thing in greatness. Either that or you're like [...]

At Least Paul Ryan Would Bring Laughter to the White House
October 11, 2012 – Posted in: Conservatives are Funny, Okay That's Funny, Politics, Worst Mom Randomness, Worst Mom RantsWell, it's official. After watching the vice presidential debate and running into these two little gems on the internets, I'm totally screwed if the Romney/Ryan ticket ends up in the White House. Because there's absolutely, positively no way I'll ever be able to look at Paul Ryan and not start laughing my bloody arse off. [...]
The Reno Balloon Races — If Only They Could Make Dawn a Little Later
September 9, 2012 – Posted in: Grosser than Gross, No Good Deed, Okay That's Funny, Parenting, Personal Insanity, Reno, Sundays in My City, Things To Do with KidsToday was, well, interesting... Every year since the kids were about 3, we've gone to the Reno Balloon Races. We drag everybody out of bed before the sun comes up, drive down to a big park with a bunch of freakishly perky people, walk around in the dark, and freeze while we watch close to [...]
Heavens to Betsy! Women Writers?!
August 31, 2012 – Posted in: Conservatives are Funny, Corporatism, Okay That's Funny, Politics, World Gone Crazy, Worst Mom RantsThere's been a whole heap of nasty stuff being thrown around about women lately. I mean, back when I was twenty, if you would've suggested that we'd be bickering about safe access to abortion or questioning if an assault victim "asked for it" in 2012, I would have chortled (because I did and still chortle [...]

He still chews, [...]
Vagina! Say VAGINA!
June 27, 2012 – Posted in: Elfie, Okay That's Funny, Personal Insanity, TenzinMy husband, Tenzin, is sort of infamous for giving the kids a hard time. You'd think by now they'd know that they live in a house where half of what comes out of either parent's mouth is pure crap. But apparently, not so much.Anyway, this is what transpired between Elfie and her dad after she [...]
What? You Haven’t Seen the Latest Trend in French Manicures?
June 24, 2012 – Posted in: Beauty, Elfie, Okay That's Funny, Tenzin, Things To Do with Kids, Worst Mom RandomnessSo I've been all over town today with my nails looking like this:Photo by Tammy SoongI have my 7-year-old daughter to thank for my new look. I never paint my fingernails, only my toenails (and even that gets dicey). But the other day her friend was over, and when 7-year-olds get ahold of nail polish, [...]
The Ironic or Not-So-Ironic Passing of the Humor Gene
June 4, 2012 – Posted in: Cranky Tammy, Elfie, Jasper, Newt, Okay That's Funny, Parenting, Worst Mom RandomnessAll I have to say is, it's a good thing I have a decent sense of humor. Take this morning, for example. I'm currently sort of laughing about how my husband left the dog kennel open and let the puppy escape unnoticed to wake up the boy at 5 a.m., "do his business" on the [...]
The Under-Appreciated Microwave
May 16, 2012 – Posted in: Complaining, First World Problems, Okay That's Funny, Personal InsanityThere are so many things I could write about today. My friend's niece who died suddenly from a brain tumor. My run-in with yet another pharmacist. And, of course, there's always the puppy. But instead, I'm going to go with something really hard-hitting: The microwave. A hole in our kitchen. And our hearts. . . [...]
